Words of wisdom coming from America’s favorite sitcom dad. Bill Cosby appeared on Good Day America and said what many Americans have been saying since Donald Trump started pandering to the Teaparty and Birthers – if you’re gonna run, run!
Everyone knows the real reason for Donald Trump’s sudden interest in politics, and it has nothing to do with…, well, politics. Bill Cosby saw right through the newbie birther, and called him out on his so-called aspirations.
Keith Olberman… yes, that Keith Olbermann – has been keeping up on the nonsense that is today’s Republican party. Here, in this Worst Persons Of The Day edition, our favorite orange, John Boehner wins hands down.
Ladies and gentleman, Keith Olbermann…
Obviously he’s meant to be a distraction. And obviously he has no intention of running for president and quitting his day job as one of the richest men in America to take a pay cut as president of the US.
Obviously, he’s not the only one involved in his rhetoric over Obama not being an American citizen. And obviously he’s got no proof on anything he says or does regarding his info on the President’s birth certificate or lack thereof. And obviously he has no agents in Hawaii searching for secret birth information either.
Obviously Donald Trump is a played out, media whore, diva looking to get the ratings up on his show – the one that pits pitiful Hollywood has-beens up against each other vying for the oppurtunity to kiss his pinky ring -“The Apprentice”. And obviously there will be no one of great importance backing his run for the presidency in 2012 but him, the Teabaggers and his millions, cuz the only one whose actually “begged” him to run was his reflection in a mirror.
However, and more important than Trump and his crap, is why it seems that there is no moral compass for the so -called ‘right winged’ political party? And I’m not just talking about lourding over others about how they’re right and everyone else … just isn’t. I’m talking about your everyday ‘basics’ of morality, particularly in the public eye. The basic tenets of the Ten Commandments of the Bible if you will: don’t cheat, don’t lie, don’t covet, don’t steal, don’t be a pig etc.,
Why do we have politicians -who I’ve always thought should exemplify civility and fair play, sound reasoning, good judgement, common sense and intelligence – who get up in front of a captive audience or television camera just to show the world that they know absolutely nothing about anything yet still aspire to the presidency?
And why the void of intelligence? Is it considered too liberal to be … smart? Instead of requests for a birth certificate, shouldn’t the Birthers be requesting I.Q. test results (which also btw tests for information retention; comprehension; common sense; a fund of factual information … helpful stuff for a politician to have, no?!) from a reputable bi-partisan monitoring organization on anyone who’s even thinking of getting into the political arena. This way we don’t waste a perfectly good vote on someone who might need to rethink their career options.
How proud would you be to be an American knowing that the likes of a Michele Bachman, a Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney or Donald Trump might represent the best we could come up with as leader of the country?
Really?
In the same style that has become the norm with today’s Republican party,–and that is the lack of specifics in any claim they make– a right winged group called Liberty Counsel is actively pushing for the impeachment or removal from office of President Obama. The group has been sending out emails to this effect, the latest which states;
[T]here is an unchecked arrogance, even a condescending, elitist mindset evident in the Obama White House. The President behaves as though he is somehow above the law!
This Administration seems to believe that the Constitution is pliable and subject to political expedience. They act as though their insights are greater than our Founding Fathers and the statesmen who gave shape and content to the Constitution!
The Obama Administration presumes it is “bigger” than the presidency.
No man is bigger than the office he is elected to hold. Through carefully crafted checks and balances, our Founders made sure that no office holder would be more “empowered” than the Constitution allowed.
Barack Obama’s subversion of our Constitution must be stopped! Those colluding with him in Congress, the Administration, the federal bureaucracy, State offices, and any other position of public trust must also be held accountable.
Liberty Counsel is continuing to demand that elected officials (all of them!) live up to their Oaths of Office – or be FIRED, RECALLED, or IMPEACHED.
Again, words. Just words with no specifics. Anyone can say anything, but without facts of specifics, there’s nothing to act on…nothing.
Adapting the same mindset, one can use the same words above to indicate that Liberty Counsel is against the Constitution and should be shut down, like so…;
[T]here is an unchecked arrogance, even a condescending, elitist mindset evident in the Liberty Counsel Group. These right-winged Nut Jobs behave as though they are somehow above the law!
This Group seems to believe that the Constitution is pliable and subject to political expedience. They act as though their insights are greater than our Founding Fathers and the statesmen who gave shape and content to the Constitution!
Liberty Counsel presumes Rush The Nut Limbaugh is “bigger” than the presidency!
No Group is bigger than the Constitution. Through carefully crafted checks and balances, our Founders made sure that no nut jobs or their affiliated nut jobs, would be more “empowered” than the Constitution allowed.
Liberty Counsel’s subversion of our Constitution must be stopped! Those colluding with them must also be held accountable including Republicans,The Tea Party,the Koch Brother’s etc..,
Americans are continuing to demand that Liberty Counsel (all of them!) live up to the truth – or be FIRED, SHUTDOWN, or INJECTED WITH SOME TRUTH SYNDROME TO DISCOVER WHO THEY’RE IN COLLUSION WITH.
See? It works both ways.
